شيخ العقل يوسف جربوع ينحاز للنظام ويصف الأصوات المطالبة بإسقاط الأسد بـ "النشاز"

كشف شيخ العقل الثالث في السويداء، يوسف جربوع، عن انحيازه للنظام السوري في وجه الحراك الذي دخل يومه الحادي عشر. وأكّد جربوع، خلال لقاء جمعه أمس الثلاثاء بمحافظ ريف دمشق التابع للنظام السوري صفوان أبو سعدة، وقوفه خلف “القيادة السورية”، معتبراً أن الحراك الشعبي يُطلق “هتافات خاطئة”، كما ظهر “الكثير من أصوات النشاز”، في إشارة مُبهمة إلى الأصوات المطالبة بإسقاط النظام ورئيسه بشار الأسد. وتحدث جربوع،…

DO NOT (and I can't stress that enough) DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO

NOT THE ORIGINAL ONE

NOT THE BLURRED VERSION

NOT THE AUDIO

I came across the (muted) blurred version, and I clicked it away the second I realized what it was (which luckily means I didn't see the worst part). The first seconds are still terrible enough.

I can't even post a screenshot to warn you all. But you see lots of green and military clothing.

MUTE IT IMMEDIATELY AND DONT WATCH ONE SECOND

Also: DO NOT SHARE THE VIDEO OR POSTS WITH (unblurred) PICTURES!

I don't think it's sinking in with enough people that the Director of the UNHR New York office resigned with this letter. I have so much respect for him.

His name is Volker Türk.

Resources to compel ceasefire, aid Palestinians, medical personnel in Gaza + refugees

Here is the most recent report from the UN Human Rights commission about what is happening on the ground in Gaza, and their insight about why they are stuck - many in UNHR are trying to open the border to enable ground supply imports and medically stable evacuations: https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/10/1142472?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-theslowfactory&utm_content=later-38580223&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkin.bio

International Resources

Here's the link to UNPFA, scroll down to the bottom of the page to donate: https://www.unfpa.org/crisis-gaza

ETA: Human Rights Watch is another good international resource group working towards peace with investigation, localized practical humanitarian support, on-the-ground advocacy for concrete policies + resolution enforcement protecting human rights: https://www.hrw.org/impact

Here are some of their recent reports + investigations in the region: https://www.hrw.org/middle-east/north-africa/israel/palestine

Being an international 3rd party solely committed to human rights rather than any partisan agenda, HRW is able to conduct thorough investigations and effectively present evidence to national / international leaders with the power to intervene, hold violators accountable, and protect vulnerable people from further abuse / violence.

UK Resources

In the UK you can support MAP, or Medical Aid to Palestinians. They are also already at the border with supplies waiting to be let in: https://www.map.org.uk/donate/donation-details/484?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-theslowfactory&utm_content=later-38385692&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkin.bio

US Resources

In the U.S. we have more power than most to compel our government + representatives to stop this madness + demand a ceasefire. "More than most" is still not a lot - I feel so angry and helpless in all this.

But I can make a phone call, and if every other American makes a phone call, maybe we could shame them into pretending we're actually still some semblance of a democracy. If we all demand a ceasefire now, and demand real aid and support for the people of Palestine - we have a better shot of making an impact, making that happen, as Americans, others may.

Jewish Voice for Peace has put together a useful script + instructions on how to call your congressperson. You can read them here: https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/urgent-tell-congress-to-stop-fueling-violence/

"University Network for Human Rights @unitedforrights 🧵BREAKING: Today, on Nakba Day, we submitted to the UN the most thorough legal analysis of Israel's actions since Oct. 7, finding that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

The 100-page report, by independent legal experts at UNHR, @buslahr , Cornell's Human Rights Clinic, @CHR_HumanRights , and Yale Lowenstein Project meticulously documents how Israel's acts meet the elements of genocide under the 1948 Genocide Convention."

Close to 70% of those killed in Gaza are children & women.

How a simple initiative from our Virtual HR has had a significant impact on our team's well-being and productivity?

How a simple initiative from our #VirtualHR has had a significant impact on our #team's well-being and productivity?

Every other week, they provide us with a meditation session and guide us in implementing a 15-minute daily meditation practice to start our day.

This has bridged the gap between #management and employees, fostering a sense of connection and aiding us in achieving our daily goals.

The outcomes have been truly remarkable!

Incorporating meditation into our daily routine has allowed us to approach each day with a clear and focused mind.

As a result, we have experienced enhanced decision-making, improved #communication, and a more positive work #environment. Moreover, #productivity has increased while stress levels have decreased.

I cannot thank Dishi Jain & Manish Jain founders of unHR enough for continuously coming up with unique ideas to boost team morale.

I urge everyone to consider integrating mindfulness practices such as meditation into their workday.

The benefits are undoubtedly significant!

" hey ! wanna go out and eat ? "

❝    have i ever said no to you?    ❞

playful words come as easy as the singsong cadence  /  the impish simper swiftly curled into a grin do.  who is he to deny his dearest friend,  after all?  he knows why he’s offering  (he hears his voice in his head,  clear as day,    ❛    how are you gonna get better if you don’t eat?    ❜)  and knows he needn’t say it anymore. he cares,  just as kayn does.  this is merely how he shows that.

no matter their many hardships  –  the other’s especially,  it’d be unfair to compare zax to anything less than the sun itself.  to burn so bright,  illuminating the dark all the while shouldering his own shadows behind closed doors and away from the assumptions of many  ——  in his every action,  every word lied a strength and a hope kayn could only dream of someday possessing.  its enough to make a once cheeky grin something softer,  a genuine,  appreciative smile across his face before he rises from his seat and meets him at the door.

❝    i am free for the afternoon,    ❞    he begins again,  bringing a hand up to his chin as if to still contemplate what’s already a guaranteed yes;  that same arm then thrown lackadaisically around his companion’s shoulder.    ❝    ah,  why not?  you don’t like my cooking,  right?  i’ll follow your lead,  then.    ❞    a beat.  that grin returns.

❝    i’m paying,  though.  ❞
